New to Gibson First Purchase ES-335

Congrats man, I love it!

 

I'm going to make a guess that you got that from Wildwood guitars? I recognize the figuring behind the bridge, and in fact I almost bought that very guitar myself. Ended up with a sunburst instead since I already have a red 330, but man I do love that red 335!

 

How's the tone?

Hi,

Yes! I did purchase the guitar from Wildwood. Troy helped me with the purchase, I had previously purchased a David Gilmour Strat Relic from him and they were really helpful with my first Gibson. I am still trying to get used to the larger body, unfortunately my amp is in for repair at the moment so I have not had a chance to test it out, but acoustically it sounds great.

autodex, nice ES-335 you got there. You have one with the block inlays, I see. The one I had, but no longer do, that was a Dot ES-335. It was Cherry Red. I had been Jonesing for another Gibson guitar for years. I finally recently purchased an

CS-336, Vintage Sunburst, that I love. I hope you enjoy your ES-335 for years to come. BTW, how did you come up with

the name Carol Ann for her?

Nice one Murph, warm and welcoming ... and you didnt even tell autodex why he should have got a 339 instead!

 

Sweet guitar autodex, welcome to the 335 club!

I want to thank everyone for the welcoming comments, I feel like I am part of the Gibson tradition, finally got to plug the 335 in and boy she really sings, I decided to take the pickguard off and I am having an ebony truss rod cover done with a lion inlay, will post pics when completed in a few weeks.

 

Thanks again

Steve
